Mitt Romney IS a vulture capitalist who I would not vote for for dog catcher. Please go to youtube and search for the video "When Mitt came to town full complete version". Also go to google and put in "Bain Romney money photo" and take a good look at that photo. This video and the photo shows us that it is all about the money for Romney and NOTHING about creating jobs. There are alot of people that try to defend Romney by saying "Look, Bain invested in businesses and sometimes the business survived and thrived and other times the business died and that's just capitalism". The problem with this defense is that how come regardless of whether the business thrived or died under Bain, Bain ALWAYS came out of these deals ahead many, many millions of dollars? If Bain came in legitimately trying to save/improve a business and then the business failed, you would think that Bain would lose money on that deal. That does not seem to be the case. Bain always comes out smiling regardless of what happens to the business. In some cases
people's pension funds were raided and then the taxpayer had to make good on that! So you see that photo with the Bain guys with the money between their teeth? As far as I'm concerned That's people's pension money that Bain stole from them! I will tell you that this is personal to me right now because I'm a union member for Verizon and they are currently trying to get their mitts (no pun intended) on the union workers pension money. The corporation is healthy and the CEO's made 49 million dollars last year and yet they
want to take away my pension, healthcare and they send American jobs to India and the Philippines. Are these people really the "job creators"? They seem more like middle class destroyers to me.

SEC fillings show Romney was CEO of Bain Capital while the lay-offs and outsourcing occurred. Do we want a president who advocates selling out Americans so rich stock holders who don't do any of the real labor to build a company can profit off of the backs and work of those who do?

Excellent Roundup! Thanks! Factual information is the way towards truth.

Romney is self destructing. The GOP has dark clouds ahead as Americans all over this nation wake up and can no longer deny what's happening to us all. Especially as our Climate Change side effect begins it's onslaught. Clean Coal, ever hear of clean dirt and scum? I have.

'CTNOW' : Thanx and further to your comment re. 'The Romulan', I also append :

"Did Mitt Romney Pay ZERO Taxes ? -- A Shocking Possibility. Our tax code is broken — really broken. It’s rigged for the rich and against the middle class. How rigged ? It’s possible that Mitt Romney paid no federal taxes at all in 2009, which would explain why once again today he said he wouldn’t release any tax returns from before 2010." : http://thinkprogress.org/progress-report/did-mitt-romney-pay-zero-taxes/ .

So tell me, how many jobs did the Obimination create while he was in the private sector as a businessman who owned a business/businesses or managed a business/businesses and how profitable were those businesses?

If all of these investments of Bain in the Caymans, Bermuda, Ireland, Germany and, yes, Switzerland, were creating a lot of American jobs, don't you think some intern would have spent at least a semester adding them up?

No, I am not defending Bush - just trying to make a point that the Obimination takes credit for all the jobs created by the stimulus but doesn't want to put it on his record as part of the debt he created.

So tell me ( as I think this is the comparison you are trying to make ), how many jobs did the Mittens create? As I could be mistaken - but I do not think Mittens ever started a company/business. I believe he made money off of existing businesses, loaded at least one with debt and let it go bankrupt. Outsourced work didn't he? well that may or may not have created jobs - but it was not in the USA. Bain Capital? He was (is?) President. But did he create the raiding firm? How many are employed at Bain? Does that make up for the company he tanked?

Also have a look at this and then tell me about who might be better in the position of potus ( myself? I kind of like Jill Stein )

Because unlike a shifty, money grubber, Obama was a community organizer. And before you go making fun of such a noble endeavour, you should really contemplate what that says about this nation. Only here in the 'States can such a calling be deemed bad. I'd say a community organizer has more of a knack to lead a democracy than a CEO whose skills would better be utilized being a tyrant or a king.
